In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Didn't really use this.

“Some great physical resources were available in the kit but unfortunately I could not access any of the links included with the teaching materials. This was disappointing and I was too busy at the time to follow it up. I am Intending to re-use the kit next year (in more depth as it was very rushed in term 4) with a year 10 class so will try again to access what looks like excellent resources and if I do not have any success, I will contact you. However, these kits are amazing and I thank you all for your hard work - they are an invaluable resource for all teachers.”

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? Unfortunately Covid interruptions impacted the full use of the journal.

“The kit was used in a high decile private school in the South Island where racism isn't seemingly an issue but using the resource awakened the students preconceived ideas and allowed for an awareness that subtle racism or segregation is within all societies. We can study racism from around the world but really it is what happens in the faces of the students that really is the learning. Unfortunately using the kit fully was impacted by Covid interruptions and rejigging the year planner but will fully and completely use the Kit next year”

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? It made me really think about ākonga identities and how it is easy to make assumptions about them eg we may assume that our Māori ākonga know their tikanga and whakapapa.

“I think this kit has invaluable as it fits in nicely with our school values and inparticular celebrating diversity. We are a culturally responsive school who have developed term concepts in our Junior School and in our Year 9 Homeroom environment where we value and honour traditional Māori ways of being and doing; Mātauranga Māori. These values and principles are woven throughout the term concepts and contexts for learning: e Tuakiri -Identity- Tikanga Values (Whanaungatanga, Whakapapa, Kotahitanga) Whanaungatanga -Relationships- (Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Kaitiakitanga,Tangata whenuatanga) Whakarerekētanga -Change: valuing and honouring traditional Māori ways of being and doing ( Maramatanga, Mohiotanga,Kaitiakitanga,Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Auahatanga -Innovation:Tikanga Values (Mahitahi, Wānanga Rangatiratanga)”
